The Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County invites poets and visual artists to share original work with the community in celebration of National Poetry Month for its “April: 30 Days of Inspiration” initiative.
The ACCBC seeks poems and artwork for a social media campaign that explores what inspires, strengthens, connects, calms, or revives — from the smallest, most ordinary moments to dramatic occasions and vistas, whether narrative, lyrical, abstract or concrete.
A new poem paired with a new artwork will be featured daily during the month of April on all ACCBC social media platforms, curated by the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County “30 Days” project committee.
Artists and poets do not have to be residents of Bucks County or members of the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County to participate. Submissions from new, emerging and established artist/poets are welcomed. The ACCBC encourages submissions from historically underrepresented voices in arts communities in celebration of the full expression of all identities.
Poetry and artwork submissions that explore what inspires, strengthens, connects, calms, or revives will be accepted until March 15. Previously published poetry will be accepted; artists need not create new work to enter the show.
Contact information for artists and poets will be featured alongside published works to expand marketing reach of all participants. There is no submission fee for this project; donations to the ACCBC are welcome. Poets and artists are invited to learn more and submit their work at bucksarts.org/30Days.
It is the intention of the Arts & Cultural Council to use the social media campaign as a means of celebration and community-building during a challenging time while partnering poets with visual artists in evocative ways.
